buy a graphics card and a SSD.
8gb of ram is meh,but still can play almost every game at 30+fps
Judging by your procesor i would go for either RX 580 8gb,1650/super,or a 1050 Ti.Nothing bellow 4gb of vram certanly.All of those 3 cards all below 200$.
Also with them you should buy a new power supply,since the one in your optiplex is only made to run a configuration that your already have.
Oh and yeah i would get a 1TB hard drive and a 240gb ssd for windows and related programs and some games maybe

DO you think a gtx 1060 would work?

What exact model of the 7010 do you have? They came in 4 different sizes. Also need to know specs on the power supply, wattage, what cables it has and the 12v rail amp rating.
